Prieuré de Saint-Arnoult, Medieval priory in Saint-Arnoult, France

The Saint-Arnoult Priory features a timber-framed structure with two levels of corbelling and intricate wooden joints throughout the building.

Founded in the 11th century by Benedictine monks from Saint-Germer-de-Fly Abbey, the priory later passed to Beaubec Abbey in the 18th century.

The east facade displays carved motifs depicting plants, animals, and human figures, representing medieval symbolic art and craftsmanship.

The priory hosts guided tours and educational activities focused on traditional rural architecture and the preparation of cob building materials.

The garden contains 400 plant varieties, including ancient medicinal herbs, arranged in the original enclosed courtyard space.
